Fine Gael Cork North West, Áine Collins, has welcomed the Government's proposal to streamline the system of State support for micro and small businesses across the country. "The decision to dissolve the existing County Enterprise Boards (CEBs) and to transfer their functions to Enterprise Ireland will make access to State support much easier for SME's and entrepreneurs. "Ease of access to supports is crucial in providing our indigenous businesses with the help they need and to encourage entrepreneurship.
